Many farmers IN this vicinity expect
to attend the farmers Institutes at
Dodgeville and Mineral Point No
farmer in the county should fail to at
tend one or both of these Institutes.
AS much knowledge may be obtained
there from the experience of others as
it would take lifetime for a man to
find out from dear experience. If
nothing, more it cannot fail to enthuse
a farmer in the work in which he is
engaged and awaken him out of that
old lethargic condition into which many
have fallen by leading too much of an
isolated life, and the work of just such
gatherings as these farmers Institutes.
Let every farmer make an effort to at
tend one day at least; and if he can
be present one day there is but little
doubt but each year hereafter he will
be found in the institute during the
whole session. W.JR.

Mr. Blaine fdyors the repeal Of the
taxes upon tobacco, but would have
the whisky tax retained and the money
derived from this source expended in
the erection of coast defenses His
friend William +. Chandler goes the
whole length however, and declares for
the immediate removal of all taxes
from Whiskey and tobacco. In fact a
majority of the influential leaders of
the republican party occupy about the
same ground as Mr.. Blaine or Mr..
Chandler. The democratic position
has been taken in favor of retaining
these taxes, while reducing the revenue
by lowering duties upon imported ne
cessities. And this is the line upon
which the tariff issue will be fought

sions from men of eminenrly high
standing as authorities upon economic
questions:
The message is a statesmanship-like
document, which is destined to stand
as conspicuous landmark IL our po-
litical history. [ know not whether
more to admire the profound wisdom
of its views or the compact logic with
which they are enforced. The mes
sage is also very bold document, and
considering the extent to which the
protection deiusion has fastened itself
upon the masses of our people, it is
one which its author could not deliber-
ately put forth without feeling that he
is taking his political life in his hand.
But | cannot but feel a hope that this
delusion has nearly run its course and
that Mr.. Cleveland may prove to have
had the good fortune to have taken
the tide at its flood and to be destined
to ride on its returning wave into the
full ocean of established common
sense

Republican Leaders in a Quandary.

Republican leaders in Wisconsin are
in a quandary. They elevated Gov.
Rusk so high with the "riot issue =
that he towers above them all. and
they are afraid to make any combina-
tons for fear he might step on them
as solidly as he did on boom that was
being builded with great care for a
gentleman named Fairchild. In a
word, the old man runs riot where he
pleases in the party.
